Porcelain Mien Furnace - willows
- Cost: 5m 1w
- Duration: Instant
- Type: Simple
- Min. Ring / Essence: 4 / 3
- Prereq. Charms: These Dreams Are Clay
From the craft and malice of the Workers comes the horror of shape.
Infusing a Ring-shaping or Staff-shaping attack with terrible order, the raksha burns freedom out of his opponent. Instead of dealing damage, the attack crystallizes Charms and converts wounds to mutations. Find the damage result of the attack as normal; the attacker converts Charms the target is currently using into mutations at a rate of one mutation point per success; he may also inflict totally novel mutations, at a rate of one mutation point per success and (incumbrance or ravishment); this removes that incumbrance or ravishment. The attacker must use as many damage successes as he can.
Shatter the Feet - FlowsLikeBits
- Cost: 3 motes
- Duration: Instant
- Type: Reflexive(Step 1 and Step 4 )
- Keywords:Combo-Ok, Social, War
- Min. Investigation / Essence: 4 / 2
- Prereq. Charms: Evidence Discerning Method
All things have weakness. This charm reveals such things. And with this knowlege, comes the way to take advantage of them. However, to use this knowlege, one must have it in the first place.
A Solar uses this charm to observe an opponent or situation and gain an advantage. Every stunt die on the roll is converted to two successes in step 4 instead of being rolled.
Comments
Would that work on creation's exalts in the same way? Also, how many mutation points would a charm cost if it had no gossamer cost and could not normally be a mutation - do those charms simply not count?
-- Darloth
- Yes. It disregards Charm that can't be made into mutations because it's applying the general rules for turning Charms into mutations, so the only way to affect the created is to shaping-injure them first. - willows
- Thanks for the clarifications. I had assumed that to be the case, for as you say, those are the default rules, but I prefer things to be clearly stated.
-- Darloth- I consider it insulting to the reader to babble on about the general rules. - willows
- I know. In conversation, I would prefer it that way also. In charm design, I find it occasionally inefficient, as slips of the brain that are not caught by wording can escalate into larger problems. While it would be nice to always be alert and to interpret things correctly, everyone makes mistakes, and I (personally) prefer a bit of excess clarity than not enough. I realize you don't, I'm just clarifying it for everyone like me who does. Having it in comments like this is good enough.

This theme has been here too long. Editing it a bit. In a day, I'll take it down; DBS should take the next theme, since he posted the last not-me Charm. - willows
- Gotcha. I wish I had something to contribute in the meantime, but nothing comes to mind. I'll do the next best thing, and have an exciting new theme prepped instead...DeathBySurfeit
- Gonna try one last time to fix this one. Following charms probably wouldn't tree off this one though. -FlowsLikeBits
